Title: “RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN INSTRUCTIONAL LEADERSHIP AND TEACHERS’ JOB PERFORMANCE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE PROVINCE OF KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA, PAKISTAN”. Researcher: Zafar Khan Supervisor: Dr. Umar Ali khan University: Gomal University, Dera Ismail Khan, KPK, Pakistan Year: 2012 Subject Area: Education Degree: PhD This study aimed at exploring teachers’ perceptions of instructional leadership of secondary school heads and relationship of these perceptions with their performance on the job at secondary school level in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Pakistan).The population of study consisted of 4488 teachers working in secondary schools during academic year 2009-10. Six hundred and fifty secondary school teachers were selected by using stratified random sampling technique, 493 (309 male and 184 female) teachers from 14 districts of the province responded with a response rate of 76%. Two instruments were used to collect the data: Instructional leadership questionnaire (ILQ) and teacher job performance scale (TJPS). ILQ was developed by the researcher and reliability of ILQ was measured by using Cronbach alpha coefficient, resulting in 0.87 for formulating educational objectives, 0.85 for developing learning environment, 0.83 for protecting instructional time, 0.87 for supervising and monitoring the progress, 0.88 for promoting professional development, and 0.96 for the whole questionnaire. Teacher Job Performance Scale (TJPS), developed by Hanif (2004) was adapted for this study. Mean, Standard xdeviation, t-test, Correlation and regression were the statistical techniques used for the analysis of data.The results showed that teachers perceived instructional leadership of their school heads at moderate level in four functions, except for the function of providing learning environment that was perceived by teachers at higher level. Gender wise results showed that female secondary school heads were perceived better instructional leaders than their male counterparts in formulating educational objectives, providing learning environment, supervising and monitoring the progress, but in the functions of protecting instructional time and promoting professional development both are at the same level. No statistical significant difference was found in the teachers’ perception about instructional leadership of secondary school heads in rural and urban areas.A positive and statistical significant correlation at moderate level was found between Teachers’ perceptions of instructional leadership with their job performance. There were 16 out of 20 pairs showed positive correlations between Perceived instructional leadership measures and teachers’ job performance at .05 levels of significance. Positive impact of perceived instructional leadership was found on teacher job performance. According to teachers’ perceptions, 37% estimate in their job is contributed by the instructional leadership of school heads. As the perceptions of teachers about instructional leadership increases their level of performance also increases. It was concluded that instructional leadership employed by secondary school heads is at moderate level and contribution of instructional leadership function promoting professional development in the promotion of teachers’ job performance is higher as compared to other four functions. Research study suggested that secondary school heads should pay more attention on supervision and monitoring of the instructional process in their schools. xiIt is further recommended to Elemenatry and Secondary Education Department that workshops seminars and conferences should be organized so that school heads’ and teachers come together to discuss their problems for bringing improvement in teaching learning. This study provided a foundation for further research and added a measurement tool to the leadership literature.

انداز مرا حسنِ بیاں تک نہیں پہنچا

انداز مرا حسنِ بیاں تک نہیں پہنچا
جو رنگِ سخن خوب ہو واں تک نہیں پہنچا

پہنچے ہیں بہت لوگ ستاروں سے پرے بھی
کوئی بھی مرے دردِ نہاں تک نہیں پہنچا

مفلس یہ خبر سن کے ہی بس ڈوب گیا ہے
سیلاب ابھی اُس کے مکاں تک نہیں پہنچا

اعزاز ہے یہ حضرتِ شبیرؓ کو حاصل
سر ایسے کوئی نوکِ سناں تک نہیں پہنچا

جو زخم دیے تو نے مرے دل میں نہاں ہیں
یہ ذکر کبھی میری زباں تک نہیں پہنچا

فیضان ہے مجھ پر یہ مرے گنجِ شکرؒ کا
غم کوئی مرے دل، مری جاں تک نہیں پہنچا

محسوس میں کرتا ہوں محبت میں گرانی
یہ بار ابھی بارِ گراں تک نہیں پہنچا

سمجھا نہ کسی نے بھی مرے درد کو تائبؔ
کوئی بھی مری آہ و فغاں تک نہیں پہنچا

Isolation of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria from the Rhizosphere of Different Plants and Assessment of Their Plant Growth Promotion Potential Isolation of Bacteria and their Assessment for Plant Growth Promotion Potential

Plant are benefitted in different aspects by symbiotic bacteria. Environmental conditions, Plant conditions and type of pathogens determine these important services for plants Objective: The research was conducted to assess the plant growth enhancing effects of wheat and cabbage rhizobacteria on the growth of wheat plantMethods: For this purpose, total 49 bacteria were isolated and characterized from the rhizosphere of wheat and cabbage plants. The isolates were assessed for plant growth promoting properties such as: indole acetic acid production, phosphate solubilization, antibacterial activity and heavy metal resistance. Indole acetic acid was found to be produced by 7 isolates and phosphate solubilization was shown by 20 isolates. Antibacterial activity was determined against four clinical isolates like Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella sp, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosaResults: Antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus was shown by 38 isolates, 12 isolates showed antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp, whereas no isolate was found to bepositive against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Another plant growth enhancing trait (heavy metal resistance) was shown by 28 rhizobacteria. In order to evaluate the capability of isolates to enhance the plant growth, bio-inoculation assay was performed using wheat seedsConclusions: Rhizobacterial inoculation increased the number of roots, shoots, leaves and roots and shoot length of wheat plantlets as compared to un-inoculated control.  

Role of Board Control on the Firm Performance

This study examines the influence of board control on the firm performance. The board structure, board power, board communication, board meetings are the predictors of a firm performance. The objective is to investigate either there exist an association between the firm performance and the selected predictors. For measuring the performance, sales of the textile firms have been used and 250 textile firms of Faisalabad are used as sample and for collecting the data convenient sampling method have been used. For collecting the data five point Likert scale questionnaire is used and descriptive statistics in which mean and standard deviation is calculated on the response data. Pearson correlation and simple linear Regression and multiple linear regression methods have been applied to test the hypothesis. The purpose of the first research hypothesis is to explore whether any significant relationship between the board structure and firm performance is found or not. The simple linear regression has been used in which significant result and positive coefficient indicates that positive association between the board structure and the firm performance is observed. Further to check the association between the board power and firm performance simple linear regression is used which also indicates significant result. Simple linear regression and significant relationship between the board communication and firm performance is confirmed. The simple linear regression results indicate that there is significant association between the board meeting and firm performace.The last research hypothesis has significant relationship between the firm performance and board structure, board power, board communication and board meeting. The multiple linear regression model is used and the assumption of multiple regression has also diagnosed the linearity and normality of the data and found that data is following the assumption of multiple linear regression. It is concluded that well defined board structure and authorized and responsible board of directors that used their power for the long term decision and keep an eye on the management increase performance of the firm. The strong communication system among different levels of management and the board of directors and the increase in the frequency of board meetings boost the performance of the firm.
